Comments/Problems:
Installing Stretch using current (dated 31 Oct 2016) firmware and net installer
does not complete. The following error is encountered during the install:
"No kernel modules were found. This probably is due to a mismatch between the kernel
used by this version of the installer and the kernel version available in the archive. If
you're installing from a mirror, you can work around this problem by choosing to install
a different version of Debian. The install will probably fail to work if you continue
without kernel modules. Continue the install without loading kernel modules?"
Selecting "Yes" causes the installation to fail at the disk partitioning step,
apparently due to the lack of an appropriate kernel module. I have the three files made
available for debugging by the installer: hardware-summary.txt, syslog.txt, and
partman.txt and can share them upon request.
Under the theory that waiting a while might allow the repository and the kernel
to sync, I attempted the installation multiple times over the course of several
weeks and never got a different result, hence this installation report. I also
tried prior versions of the installer as well as the stable version (Jessie)
and none that I tried completed successfully.
In the past I have successfully installed Debian on the Cubietruck using the sd
card method, as well as other ARM devices; so I am experienced in this
installation process.

Thanks for the feedback, so I'll close the bug.
